S. against Argentina in the year's second major international series, the Cup of the Americas, starting at Meadow Brook Sept. 19. In last week's first-round matches, all played the same afternoon on three fields within easy motoring distance of each other in Long Island's Nassau County, the Hurricanes beat Old Westbury, 11-to-6; Texas nosed out Roslyn, 10-to-9; and Greentree, defending champions, rode rings around Aurora...

Two first-round knockouts have been chalked up to his credit, the first when he floored Fierman of M. I.
